Recommended! To Own the Libs is a fun story about someone is oblivious about trans issues and in their attempt to troll people figures their shit out. Eventually.

So in theory, as of this minute, you can order @zoestorm.bsky.social's To Own the Libs, and The Heart of the Woods and Other Stories, from any bookstore that has a contract with Ingram. I literally just hit the button, so it might take a bit to propagate. But, you can all go forth and order ;)

Incredibly weird but also really good!

Say, is your tardy master now at hand?

inject this shit directly into my veins

all the right people are losing today and i feel great

"The Epstein files proved them right!" No they fucking didn't. You can't describe a conspiracy whose major actors are a secret elite composed mostly of marginalized people that doesn't actually exist, then suddenly declare you were right because a completely different conspiracy was uncovered.

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Homeworld (1999) - Form follows function ☝️ Art director Rob Cunningham: "The famous banana mothership, the big vertical Kushan ship, I designed that way because I couldn't think of a shape that was more obviously up, down, that wasn't a vertical mothership [just] because it was cool looking..."

To ameliorate my pain, here's proofs of the bookstore variant of the books you can pre-order from antithesispress.com/shop There was an error that I caught, soon as the new proof's available we'll get orders open for stores. 'scuse the crappy photo, it's late & I've been accounting all day.

In case anyone was additionally wondering, yes trans women have tried plant estrogens, soy products, wild yam root and all the other "feminising" things available to bypass medical gatekeeping and none of it was very effective. The feminising power of scare mongering bullshit is not worth bothering.

short about working at the coast guard

Have you ever wondered how they get those incredible drone shots at Milan Cortina 2026? Well I dove in for @sfchronicle.com and what it means for NBC going forward (gift article link):

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

So why you standing by while the courts rip up the equality act big man Weasel wanker

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each. The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election. So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

Do you think every writer's goal is to see a movie of their work because you fundamentally don't understand what would be lost in that translation and cannot comprehend what refining or enjoying prose is like? Read the book, techslop hawker.

I’ve said this before, but Leveson 2 needs to involve guillotines

"there are no female generals" and meanwhile Boudicca would snap this little twink in half

A comic commissioned by @queenthera.bsky.social featuring her OC, Greta Sovryn!

Hot take: Shrek 2 is a better movie than The Incredibles and was fucking robbed at the Oscars.

The crushing of humanity is the point. Venture capital (reducing it to "tech" acts like workers and bosses are the same) wants to cause the collapse of several economic classes that it considers vulnerable to what they're describing as "the great disembowelment".

this is a very basic point to make but I hate that so many tech people are going "whoops haha AI is about to destroy society as we know it!" and yet incredibly few tech people are arguing in favour of just...slowing down the roll-out of AI, apparently progress must crush us and we have no say in it?

*heavy sigh* "Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak." We are both an extreme minority with no political capital who can be sacrificed for the good of the nation, AND powerful enough to get a PM fired. At the same time. Somehow.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

Delete your twitter accounts already. That platform is poison for the mind.

Looking through comments on the latest video, and something stands out to me which we need to talk about: Too many people hear "I think you should vote for Democrats in November" and think I went on to say "that's all you'll have to do and everything will be fixed" Y'all gotta cut that shit out.

Julie K. Brown deserves every last flower. She has done so, so much for so many survivors of atrocity, for lighting truth where those with power tried to bury it. This is what a free press is, does, can do. But it takes so much risk & guts. She is a brave hero and we are so indebted to her.

There's a lot of middle-class women of color in the UK who are pretty all-in on the trans panic. It seems to be common thing with conservatives who have one or more marginalized identities to just not consider whether runaway Nationalism is eventually going to be a problem for them.

employee of a company operating on a loss of 14 billion dollars says we are reaaaaaally dumb for not using their product and we're totally missing out

every day lately I feel like I didn’t make the British aristrocracy—as depicted in The Sisters of Dorley—disgusting enough

okay you know what we're doing this why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

At last I can talk about it! I'm writing a Star Trek comic!!!! All I can tell you right now is it takes place several years after the end of Picard. And it stars Captain Raffi Musiker working with a giant positronic brain to protect the Federation from future threats! gizmodo.com/star-trek-id...

My evolving relationship with streaming. 🏴‍☠️

was digging thru my archive and found some gems

This is disgusting, and dehumanizing, and unfortunately coming to damn near every platform you can think of. Multilingualism isn’t an inconvenience to be “solved” by technology. We have to push back.

Yeah, actually. Morally AND strategically. Dems have an opportunity right now to make very clear that they are a party of equity, progress, and inclusion. This ceding-on-DEI coward shit is what got us in this mess in the first place.

FWIW, I just emailed NYT's standards editor to ask about the paper's policy on this. Will update if I get a response.

A truly magnificent sight (slightly ruined by Windsor Castle). #WorldBollardAssociation

xkcd knows how to hurt me lmao

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.
